April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.

I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day Five I discuss the LINE LOTTERY game I seem to encounter daily.

“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge

Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.

It looks like this.

Challenge Guidelines

  1. View the daily video and mirror what you see.
  2. Complete all 30 daily exercises

Day 5-Tai Chi for Focus

April 5th-Line Lottery

I’m hoping today’s Tai Chi lesson on focus will help me with a mental game I face almost daily—choosing the right line at the grocery store, picking the best lane on the highway, or deciding which cashier to stand in when ordering food. To be fair, many fast-food restaurants have now introduced kiosks, giving customers another option when placing an order.

There’s a good chance many others play this same “line lottery” mental game. And just like me, they’ve experienced the frustration that comes with choosing poorly—getting stuck behind a price check, a debit card that won’t scan, or a driver who doesn’t move when the light turns green.

When it comes to winning the line lottery at a grocery store there is actually some science behind what choice to make.

Located a Business Insider article on 5 Mistakes People Make at Grocery Store Checkout-maybe just maybe eliminating these mistakes will improve the odds in getting thru a line faster. Hoping Tai Chi helps my focus.
